Video: Ford F-150 Raptor Showcases Shock Absorbers

The all-new Ford F-150 Raptor will now feature a new set of FOX shocks – jointly developed by Ford and FOX to create a purpose-built setup exclusive to the off-road pickup.

The new 3-inch FOX shock adds a base valve piston that enables lower gas pressure, resulting in a more comfortable riding truck on the road. The internal bypass in the front and rear shocks has nine distinct zones that progressively manage shock forces, allowing for smooth on-road trips along with hard-hitting off-road driving. The final zones act like hydraulic bump stops to send fluid through the top of the piston while the shock is fully compressed, preventing Raptor from bottoming out. This allows Raptor to maintain a comfortable ride and leads to improved confidence for the driver to explore all of its extra-long suspension travel.

It's time to consider the intangible ways your fleet spend is tied to your business objectives. Reducing costs, raising efficiency, and improving safety are all critical. But so is your brand image and the relationship your customers have with it.

Volvo has made sweeping changes to its Care by Volvo subscription program, driven in part by complaints and legal challenges from dealers. For the first time, dealers will be allowed to add units from their inventory into the program.
